The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 50

Samantha knew that she was going to get hung up on, but she continued to contact other banks for the sake of her company.

Alas, none of the banks were willing to give her another loan.

‘The company will go belly up in a few days if I can’t find some money to pump into it.‘

Seeing how dejected she was, Adrian said, “Why don’t you relax and take a breather? Who knows? You might just be able to get through this.”

Hearing this, Samantha shot Adrian a glance and said, “What do you know about running a company? Our cash flow is almost depleted. I won’t be able to pay my employees if I don’t get some money soon.” Samantha shook her head while Adrian smiled and replied, “I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Maybe a bank will come to you themselves with a loan offer.”

Samantha instantly shot Adrian a glare. “You’re being too optimistic about this. As if any sane bank would do such a thing for me in this situation?”

“Let’s just wait and see,” Adrian said.

Samantha ignored Adrian and wrote it off as gibberish,

Instead, she calmed herself and rearranged her thoughts. ‘My only hope right now is to win the contract from Nine Kings. I’m sure it’ll be worth a few million dollars at least, right?‘

At that thought, Samantha picked up her phone and gave Nine Kings a call.

She stated the purpose of her phone call and requested a meeting with the person in charge, but the other party on the call merely said, “Ms. Samantha, why would we choose to work with your company on a project that’s worth three hundred million dollars when it’s about to collapse?”

The call was cut off immediately following this.

In a daze, Samantha fell back into her chair after expending all of the ideas she could think of. ‘Is this really it? Is the company going to have to declare bankruptcy?”

But right at that moment, Adrian stood up and said, “I’m going to head to the washroom for a bit.”

As if Samantha could be bothered with what he wanted to do or where he wanted to go.

Adrian headed straight to the washroom after leaving Samantha’s office. He got out his cell phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, Daniel? I need you to contact a bank and have them offer Bailar a loan no matter what. This is of utmost importance.”

On the other end of that call, Daniel replied, “Understood, sir.”

Daniel hung up and began making some calls.

Meanwhile, Adrian returned to Samantha’s office. She was still in a daze as she sighed internally.

Shortly after that, Samantha’s phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly answered it and said, “Hello?”

“Hello, is this Samantha Cowell from House of Bailar?”

It was a woman’s voice.

“Yes, speaking.” Samantha was confused, not knowing who the lady was.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Good morning, Ms. Samantha. I’m calling on behalf of Swallowston Bank. I hear that you urgently need a loan. We’re willing to offer you one to resolve your issue. Would it be convenient for us to meet up and discuss this in person?”

Samantha was utterly shocked when she heard this.

‘Swallowston Bank? That’s a huge bank with a great reputation!

‘It never even crossed my mind that they’d choose to call me first!‘

Instantly, she replied, “Yes, of course! Where would you like to meet?”

The lady replied, “Why don’t you come to our headquarters? I’ll be waiting for you in my office upstairs. Just tell reception you have an appointment when you arrive. By the way, my name’s Mandy. Mandy Cole.” “Okay, thank you very much, Ms. Mandy.”

Samantha was instantly filled with glee after ending the call.

She then turned to Adrian with a smile and said, “Looks like your words hold some real weight. A bank really called to offer me a loan.”
